wheels

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel and flywheel.
Common examples are found in transport applications. A wheel greatly reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity or by the application of another external force or torque. Using the wheel, Sumerians invented a contraption that spins clay as a potter shapes it into the desired object.

    Upgraded Wheels

    Hi all, Very excited to be picking up my ZS Trophy on Wed next week. Am wondering whether or not to fit some nice alloys and keep the current ones in storage. Any body running retro fit alloys? If so how are you getting on and do they look better enough to warrant the expense? Adam

    1st Service and Swapping wheels front to back

    can’t believe what I just got quoted: £111 for 1st service for 1hr £111 for reprogramming valve sensor after swapping front wheels to back. That’s just not right - anyone can advise on the wheel sensors? Apparently they need programming after wheels swaps!

    Clicking sound from the wheels?

    Has anyone else experienced a clicking sound coming from the wheels, only audible with the windows down? Seems to happen to mine every now and then when I have recently changed regen level. Changing regen level again makes the sound stop, until changing regen level again... But it's...

    Nice Wheels

    Has anyone cleaned their MG5 wheels, yet? I do like the look of the wheels but they are a bit of a challenge to clean. Also, after less than 2000miles I have found that brake dust has built up on the inaccessible inner part of the "spokes" and doesn't come off easily. I can envisage the alloys...

    Hi all! I was bored over lockdown and did some photoshopping. I felt the 5’s skinny 16” wheels spoil the look a bit (along with the colossal right height), so stuck some alternative wheels on the configurator image. They are not very accurate, I tried to approximate 18” wheels, but used the...
